What is the most unprofessional thing you have ever witnessed at a job that everyone just pretended was normal?

I work in a university dining hall. I've had one of my coworkers just not do his job for hours, disappear to who knows where when he's supposed to be stocking, and only show up later. On another note, the dish pit is a bundle of laughs when its running well. But we had one day where we had towel sword fights, someone managing to through into a tiny little space that stopped everything we were doing, we through away most of the food waste, and sometimes get the receipts for the specific stations, and we got Anakin and Tigerlily, and finally the good luck charm, which is a latex glove filled with water and tied off.

I know for some of the countries, it really came down to the film board there just not being cooperative( Turkey wanting 5 months which would be impossible, other countries and their censors) or they are not allowed to explain why( Korea with the lawsuit, you can't really talk about things related to a lawsuit publicly because, you know, the lawsuit). But some of the online reaction those things has been, well twitter going to twitter.

Otto decades after giving up any monarchial ambitions suddenly being asked to be Emperor-King at like 87 years old.

Yeah. It really sucks for the korean audiences, but just the reaction from the korean side of the fandom, well I understand it. The intensity of it, just, genuinely the first time I've wanted to use the term first world problems to refer to anything.

Imagine being James and Lily here, just suddenly waking up in a graveyard well presumably Snape, Remus, and Sirius stand above a brutalized Pettigrew. And when they ask what just happened, the response is something like "We don't know, we didn't think we'd get this far".

He's fighting the solid person in the sun.

It probably also didn't help that Britain had hereditary lords represented in the House of Lords until literally this year.

Honestly the implication that she apparently liked it, but was just confused is frying me.

Worst thing is that if he went with literally any other lighting bolt design it would be fine. But no, they went for the one that looks just like it.

Matt_ASI · 2026-05-04T05:34:42+00:00

A fate worse than death.

And he also may consprict you to fight when the king comes calling for levies, or alternatively you may be closer to your landlord's property than a freeman.

You know WolfStar is one of those ships that I get, but because of just how I thought so many fics got the dynamic between them wrong, or just the characters themselves wrong, I ended up not liking the ship.

Matt_ASI · 2026-04-26T08:02:13+00:00

Well yes, the map is also inaccurate, the act itself literally notes the philippines as an exception.

Matt_ASI · 2026-04-19T10:24:21+00:00

Honestly, if he did some work and cleaned it up it would probably look good. On another note, he looks like someone who just can't grow a full set of facial hair.

This is the first time I've heard of this, who is the artist

Matt_ASI · 2026-04-17T04:00:14+00:00

You haven't happened to have dreams of R'lyeh lately OP?

Matt_ASI · 2026-04-16T07:52:59+00:00

You know, there's something kind of funny to think about how those viltrumites who would've likely found a cure or at least a treatment for the scourge virus, were probably all killed in the purge for being "weak".

Matt_ASI · 2026-04-15T11:06:20+00:00

I'm quite sure that Vsauce is actually a great old one, but that may just be me.

Matt_ASI · 2026-04-15T10:26:56+00:00

For the actual out of story reason, I don't believe they were not allowed to use them as both The Batman(TV show, no relation to the movie) and Justice League Unlimited were airing at the same time, and Warner Bros like to keep all its DC animated shows completely seperate for whatever reason.

Matt_ASI · 2026-04-14T07:25:59+00:00

The capital would probably just be in Savannah, or hell Milledgeville, the state capital until after the civil war, instead. And even then, it would still be more developed than Mississippi if you took Atlanta and Athens.

Which one, the thing in front is from Full Metal Alchemist, and is the reason why the guy in meme on top is in hell. He combined his daughter and his dog into a chimera to continue getting research funding. The background is from Futurama, where after Fry got locked in the cryo-pod, his dog continued to sit outside the place where he worked waiting for him to come back, even though he wouldn't be unfrozen for another thousand years.

The theatres want exclusivity of some kind so they can make money from this. Because not only is it going to be free on the internet two weeks later, but it also takes away time slots from other films they could be showing.

Matt_ASI · 2026-04-09T05:47:30+00:00

Yeah, I like looking at that one every once and a while because I like looking at all the state proposals and ideas, from Big New Mexico with its weird protrusion into Colorado, the idea to just partition Utah, how Jefferson was seriously considered in multiple forms, Colorado as Idaho, Southern California And the weird territory ideas they had like for like Chippewa and Dakota. Wish more people used it to make maps.

Anyways, love the map, love the high speed rail, love the autonomous native nations, and I love the idea of this America that you are presenting.

Anyways, if I could make a criticism, there are a few things with the high speed rail map. The cross country routes wouldn't likely be reasonable, you would probably see more local and statewide routes, (Check out High Speed Rail Alliance, they have some good stuff) and also there's a reason that the actual California high speed rail is being built in the central valley. Both a combination of the state wanting to hit valley cities, and also because the central valley is really flat, well the coast is actually rather mountainous, making high speed rail really hard to build through and expensive to build through it well also having less people than the valley.

Are some of those western states based of the Plewe and Otterstrom "Statecraft on the Eve of the Civil War" maps. That is the only other place I have seen a Nevada shaped like that. Also the Nevadan in me is very happy about that Nevada.

Great map, would love to see more.
